I am very proud new owner of a 2001 XKR convertible in British Racing Green. I love the car, it seems to have been pretty well maintained in accordance with the official Jag guidelines, however it doesn't appear that any preventive work has been done: still has the plastic chain tensioners, no gearbox oil change, etc..
The car has 160.000 km and although it runs well and everything works, I am a bit nervous about when something will hit me :-) So my goal is to gradually have the preventative maintenance done (it appears to be way too many things to have them done at once) and I will be looking for advice. My first goal is to replace the timing chain tensioners along with the chains and guides.
I am from Slovenia, where there aren't many experienced Jag mechanics, and I don't have the place nor the time to work on the car by myself (except maybe small things). So I will be looking for advice on some independent specialist in the vicinity (Austria, most likely).
If you haven't done so already you should add your car details to your signature to help others to help you.

Hello, Jure,
You have a Beautiful Jaguar!
Experienced owners in here however, recommend taking care of those timing chain tensioners right away, as they're ticking time bombs.
